3 CDA Scholarship FY2008 Program Information EEC currently administers a scholarship program for eligible* educators to support CDA application costs. Educators submit scholarship voucher to Council in lieu of payment. 171 applicants approved - 43% vouchers redeemed. 49% of applicants are FCC providers or approved FCC assistants. ~$21,975 paid to Council for vouchers/~$28,325 still outstanding. *To be eligible for the CDA Scholarship applicants must be residence of Massachusetts, working in an EEC licensed or license-exempt program, and have a family income at or below 100% SMI.

5 FY2009 CDA Scholarship Recommendation EEC is proposing to: Continue funding direct CDA Scholarships with enhanced outreach (~$50,000); and Issue a competitive RFR to establish new or expand existing CDA Scholarship programs that can provide: a cohort model, college credit for CDA attainment, and direct links to further professional development opportunities (~$200,000).

6 FY2009 CDA Scholarship Proposal: Recommendation Proposal will: Facilitate access to college for ECE educators in accordance with Governor’s Education Action Agenda; Provide a continuum of professional development for ECE educators in agreement with EEC’s Workforce Development Plans Promote college credit for CDA as recommended by the EEC/OST Workforce Task Force; Enable educators to meet EEC child care center qualifications and CPC/UPK requirements for FCC; Support non-traditional students; and Provide access to professional development opportunities for ELL educators as legislatively required in EEC’s updated enabling statute.
